Door-to-door

It has rather opted for the good old door-to-door, a technique of inquiry which remains non-negligible. The patrol boats have criss-crossed once more for the district Kouakou, Ahuntsic-Cartierville, as well as the park of the Boatmen, where the child has been seen for the last time. All-terrain vehicles have also been put to contribution.

All the images of the security cameras collected so far have been reviewed again by the investigators in order to find a new track.

“We want to ensure not to have anything missed, you have analyzed the smaller track,” said the agent, Jean-Pierre Brabant, spokesperson for the Montreal police.
